"Prominently located in the New World Mall’s basement food court, Tarim offers a very full Uyghur menu despite occupying only a small counter. Triangular, lamb-stuffed samsas, round flatbreads, and other pastries that change by the day are displayed on that counter, while an illuminated sign above offers lamb kebabs, chicken and lamb versions of dapan ji, the hand-pulled noodles known as lagman, and Uyghur pilaf, which is similar to Uzbek plov, though usually with a greater range of vegetables besides carrots and chiles." - Robert Sietsema
